The Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead’s Borough Local Plan includes building 2,000 new flats and houses on Maidenhead Golf Course.
This land is green belt and was bought by the council in 1953 to protect it from development.
Around 40 per cent of the 132-acre space is woodland (including Ancient Woodland at Rushington Copse). So it’s an important site for wildlife, including protected species like owls, bats, slow worms, hedgehogs, kestrels and red kites.
